Knowing Your Product
« on: March 13, 2016, 02:51:49 PM »
It's good to see Z-man's new website shows their in-depth knowledge of their products:

Carcassonne - A pretty good description of the game
Some pictures of the content of the box on the left hand side.
A detailed content of the in game box
A small game in progress with a precariously placed farmer/thief?

Those are the same jokers that told me it was a good idea to combine the old and new artwork.  ::)

Technically that's Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small. But yes, they appear to have botched it with both images. I haven't liked Z-Man much since they lost the Z-meister.

None of zman's other games seem to have big pictures at the btoom of their pages. It's good to see they made an effort for Carcassonne.  I was worried that agricola was going to exist in the 'Carcassonne Universe' for a minute!

Maybe it is a hint at a collaboration spinoff between carcassonne and agricola called Agricassonne or Carcola!
Just lay the damn tile!

If it involves French Farmers, one presumes that there'll be a new "tractor barricade" meeple and "incinerated foreign lorries" scenario...
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...
